Man who stabbed woman about 20 times sentenced for first-degree murder

Police said a man who pleaded guilty to stabbing a woman around 20 times has been sentenced Wednesday to life in prison with all but 50 years suspended.

Andrew Sun Lee, 23, was sentenced for the first-degree murder of Ericka Satterfeild, 27, in July of 2016. Police said Satterfield had been walking along Old Post Road when she was attacked by Lee. Officials said that Satterfield was found by a resident on Old Post Road who heard her screams and called 911. She had been stabbed about 20 times and died of her injuries, police said. Police said that Lee then went to his home and later went to Harford Memorial Hospital for treatment for the wounds that he suffered in the attack.

Lee was arrested at the hospital by detectives from the Aberdeen Police Department who were investigating the murder, officials said. Police believe there was no known connection between Lee and Satterfield, and a motive was never established.

“No parent should ever have to bury a child. Ericka was the light of my life. She was always smiling and had love in her heart,” said Jesse Satterfield, the victim's father.

Ericka Satterfield was the mother of two young children, 6 months and 7 years, at the time of her death, police said.

“The state is satisfied with the sentence. There were a number of complex legal issues that existed in this case. Mr. Lee will be in jail for a long time. The sentence ensures the safety of the community and brings some justice to the Satterfield family,” said Deputy State's Attorney Diane Adkins-Tobin.
